So brutal. Was always pulling for him but this may be the end

Good on him for getting one more NHL contract before this injury.

Always wondered what he could have been. Looks like we'll never find out.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Damn...poor kid.

 

[renberg]

Terrible shame.

 

[Henry Miller]

It just wasn’t meant to be

 

[FLYguy3911]

Feel for him.

They can claim someone on waivers now to be the 7D. More likely it'll be Seeler filling Prosser's shoes.

 

[kudymen]

This is just stupid

 

[Starat327]

Damn. I had about zero hope for him being anything at the NHL level but this basically ensures it. Even if he gets out of this org, he's looking at an AHL prove it deal at best.

 

[DancingPanther]

Yeesh

 

[Rebels57]

How the hell does this even happen?

 

[RebusFlyer]

Very unfortunate. Unbelievable series of bad breaks for Morin.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

If it's the ACL again, his career as a pro will be done. As well, he'll need to think about down the road as he's probably going to require knee replacement. That poor guy. Work ethic second to none, but incredibly awful breaks.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Jesus man. Feel so bad for the kid

 

[macleish1974]

Man........

 

[Juicy Pop]

Poor guy.

I'd imagine they'll find him a job somewhere in the org if he wants it.

 

[swami24]

Such a shame. Same age as lil swami. Use contract money to go to college and pick a new career.

They already have a 7th D man. His initials are KY.

 

[Asnito]

I was a big Morin fan but if he blew his knee out again. Hopefully it's something different and he can come back.

 

[captainpaxil]

That's the end for big Sam. I've been a fan since he was drafted and I'll probably forever wonder what he could have been. Time to let the heartbreak settle and think about life after hockey

I think your finger accidentally rolled up from from 4 and hit the 7 on your keypad.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

jesus, guy is more broken glass then that NYI goalie from years back...

how can a guy with such a large frame have such brittle knees..

gotta suck for him, all those years training and never being able to stay healthy during the actual NHL Play season..

If that is a a farmer reference bravo

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Damn, gotta feel bad for the kid. Seems like a really good dude and shown nothing but heart and perseverance in the face of so much adversity.

In honor of Morin's commitment to the team and willingness to switch positions to satisfy AV's crazy idea, I say we move Ratcliffe back to the blueline.
